Olivia 522. Toune Under the principalship of Miss Olivia Pound, Lincoln high school has had one of the inost i12l1'llI0lll0l'lS years in its history. Not only has a greater nuniber of students been enrolled in the school than ever before, but also the past year has been noteworthy in scholar- ship and finances. Miss Pound may be termed a Nebraska , product. Vfhile a student at the l'niversity of Nebraska. she was active in all class all'airs, notably school interests and drainatics. and was graduated in 1895 with Phi Beta Kappa honors. Later she received her A. M. degree. Since then, Miss Pound has taken graduate work in the suinnier sessions of the llniversity of Chicago. Harvard College, and the Teachers College of Cohunbia University, and has spent one sunnner traveling in Europe. lVhen Miss Pound began teaching in Lin- coln high school, she taught English. history and Latin. Later she taught. only Latin, and during the years 1909-15 was acting head of the Latin department. She has sponsored the classes of 1906, 1908. and 1912. It is perhaps the recent achievements of Miss Pound that interest present day students the most. It is as director of vocational guidance ot girls in Lincoln schools, as adviser of girls, as assistant principal, and finally, as act- ing principal that most students have become acquainted with her. Since 1914, the growth of the school and the varied activities of Miss Pound have been closelv interrelated. During 1916-17, when the time-worn ways of doing things seemed out of place in the new building, a new course of study was organized by a coin- inittee of which Miss Pound was chairman. The first manual of tlLlllli111SlL1'2l' tion of Lincoln high school was published last year with Miss Pound again chairman. The Girls Athletic Association and the All Girls League, two flourishing and iinportant high school organizations, were started by Miss Pound. The formulation of a definite plan for handling accounts of stu- dent organizations through an auditing coinniittee is one of the most impor- tant. things which have been accomplished this year under Miss Pound's ad- ininistration. The policy of placing all possible responsibility on students has been extended this year. The problem of helping ambitious boys and girls through school has been partially solved by providing funds for theni. By finding employment for them, and by securing financial help in an emergency, Miss Pound has encouraged many students. Perhaps no other teacher in school can claim to have so wide an ace quaintance with students and alumni as Miss Pound. For twenty-one years she has been connected with the school, and it is doubtful whether Lincoln high school could have reached its present standing without Miss Pound.
